Re: Quoting
50 quotes? That seems like an unreasonable amount.

Re: Quoting
I will go ahead and agree with this, I believe the current limit is 5, or something less, possibly 3, i havent quoted that many people for a while...
Anyway, it cant be 50 or something that high, because a forum quote tree bomb could then be scripted, i believe thats one of the reasons the original limit was put in place, However something like, 10 or 15 would be reasonable, Espescially as there is a new debateing section, for debateing you may need to quote a fairlylarge amount, I will bring this thread to the attension of Baz!

Re: Quoting
what is the problem with the quote limit?
we just tried, and managed to quote buck something like 15 times in a single post...
here is another example (26 quotes):

Re: Quoting
too many long quotes within each other are plain annoying...

Yes Bucky, you're still an Omegan after all, and we all know just how evil Omegans are.
Buck was EVIL long before Omega
I think the limit was put in place after Tok`ra wiped out the temple with a quote bomb so please understand why we limit them so. Wouldn't want to see the temple crumble again.

What could happen with 20? It usually takes much more then that to cause a Q-Hole
At the worst, posts would just get really long, but that happens anyway. =\
good point
ok 20 is ok or to compromise how about 15

Re: Quoting
10 is already bothersomely much... having to scroll down 2 pages for each post when reading that "Annual awards?!" thread, is very annoying...
